Sūra VII.: A’rāf, or the Heights

Section 3

26. O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment Upon you to cover Your shame, as well as To be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness,— That is the best. Such are among the Signs Of God, that they May receive admonition!

27. O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, In the same manner as He got your parents out Of the Garden, stripping them Of their raiment, to expose Their shame: for he And his tribe watch you From a position where ye Cannot see them: We made The Evil Ones friends (Only) to those without Faith.

29. Say: "My Lord hath commanded Justice; and that ye set Your whole selves (to Him) At every time and place Of prayer, and call upon Him, Making your devotion sincere As in His sight: Such as He created you In the beginning, so Shall ye return."

30. Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) Deserved the loss of their way; In that they took The Evil Ones, in preference To God, for their friends And protectors, and think That they receive guidance.
